3 roles
BIPOC. You’re a high-powered executive who flaunts power through your nonchalant body language. You’re looking for the next big heart-throb, but you want to make sure whoever you choose knows, without a doubt, that you’re the boss.
Caucasian but open. Body type: Lean fit to bulky/completely ripped. You are an actor who knows your worth and this role has your name all over it. You know you’re attractive. You know you’re talented. You know you’re going to be the next big heart-throb. You just have to convince the auditioner. This role entails wearing a speedo.
BIPOC but open. Body type: Any. You are the classic, accomplished, eligible bachelor – someone who rules the boardroom by day, and relaxes with a nice glass of expensive scotch by night. You give off an air of luxury and high class, even in your morning bathrobe.
